Severe
191 of 305 found this severe
R violence type: blood and graphic.
Strong graphic violence.
The violence is pretty graphic. Not so violent today though.
A man pulls someone off of a balcony and you hear him scream as he falls to his death.
A man shoots someone. While you do not see the bullet hit, you do see some blood on a nearby wall.
A man shoots a woman in a bathtub at close range with a shotgun. The bubbles hide most of the blood.
A man shoots a girl with a shotgun (not graphic) but you do see a bloody wound for a second.
A small boy is shot dead. This is not shown, however it is discussed heavily throughout the film and you see the killer trying to shoot the boy. This scene is extremely intense.
A man is shot twice (he slides down a wall). He tries to crawl away, but the shooter follows him, standing over him, shooting him in the back a few times before killing him. The body is seen later in the film (blood on the floor and blood spray at the impact of each bullet).
A man walks into a room and shoots two people with considerable blood spray.

Profanity

Moderate
161 of 288 found this moderate
31 uses of "fuck", 19 uses of "shit", 10 uses of "ass", 1 use of "bitch", and 1 use of "sons of bitches".
Religious-themed profanities such as 3 of "bastard", 4 uses of "hell", 1 use of "damn", 7 uses of "goddamn", and frequent uses of both "Christ" and "Jesus" are abused.
The child can be heard swearing.
Strong language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Moderate
162 of 250 found this moderate
Stansfield takes some kind of psychoactive pill twice during the film; he also lights up a cigarette in one scene.
Tony is shown drinking several times at his bar.
A 12-year-old girl smokes and drinks throughout the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
141 of 244 found this moderate
The main antagonist is a psychopathic and violent dirty cop. He may be disturbing to some.
Themes of dirty cops and a small girl training to be an assassin may upset some people.
There is a rather long scene where an entire family with young children is executed one by one.
